Yep - I would be - I've got these in 28mm for contemporary gaming & have Soviets & Afghans in 10/12mm (for Cold War Commander) but I'd like to replicate my 28s as single figures for Ambush Alley skirmishing...

I have Empress Miniatures too (for Force on Force and The Battlefield)

But thinking about 10mm to have vehicles...

I would be interested in

modern Brits/Afghans/Iraqi's
80's Brits/Americans/Soviets/Mujahadeen/African militia

Korea all
that should be enough for the next few weeks ;D

if I could have them all cast up by Xmas that would be grand :o that would give me something to paint in my last few months out here.

cheers

Here!

Modern forces 80s onwards. Talk about Cold War going hot and such.

80s Soviets would be grand! Obviously BMPs and BTRs would have to accompany them ;)

Post by: Charon on 22 September 2012, 03:27:55 PM
I'd definitely be interested in Cold War era moderns, currently looking at Cold War Gone Hot in 20mm, but would rather do it in 10mm!

Title: Re: What about modern ?
Post by: Le Manchou on 22 September 2012, 06:18:59 PM
Soviets and Warpact, Americans, Germans, Brits, French and Chinese forces in the 80s would be my needs

The modern supplement to IABSM is in development so that should generate some interest. Unfortunately I've had to go down the 15mm route for playtesting as there's squat around in 10mm  :(
Title: Re: What about modern ?
Post by: GordonY on 22 September 2012, 09:47:33 PM
Not quite squat but not Pendraken

Not quite 10mm!
Title: Re: What about modern ?

Actually they are, theyre just advertised as 12mm, in reality theyre a pretty good match for Pendraken 10mm.

A rapid test...

A more practical and infinitely more USEFUL test Barbarian is

(http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n17/GordonY/P1010417_zps5297d066.jpg)

12mm Minifigs on the left, 10mm Pendraken on the right.

And do be careful of the size of the gun B.
In the vast majority of cases, because the gun has to be fatter (in scale) for casting purposes it needs to be made longer than 'reality'.....otherwise the gun ends up looking rather 'stumpy' once it's on the model.
You have to 'cheat' on the proportions to make it 'look right' once it's on the figure.
And you won't know if it looks right, until it's actually on the soldier itself. ;)
What you've done looks very nice though !
Cheers - Phil.

Looks like it, but don't think it's amphibious.

Don't like the one on the left.
Title: Re: What about modern ?
Post by: barbarian on 23 September 2012, 11:08:22 PM
Me neither. I had a look on the range, can't say I'm pleased with them.
Title: Re: What about modern ?
Post by: GordonY on 23 September 2012, 11:58:11 PM
No me neither, but they (and their vehicles) do exist, and thats as close to 10mm as your likely to get.
Title: Re: What about modern ?
Post by: Gennorm on 24 September 2012, 10:56:37 AM
That's why I've gone 15mm where it's much more developed. Hey stop throwing things at me  :-* ???

definatley up for some modern stuff!  ;)

Post by: GordonY on 24 September 2012, 11:31:00 AM
All I want for moderns is Infantry in floppy hats/kepis/Helmets with HMGs and mortars, and I only need a couple of vehicles to make me happy, trucks, T55s and Technicals with the option of RRLs or HMGs. But I am waiting for Pendraken to do them mainly because I hate assembling Minifigs stuff, then when Mr Leon listens to my pleas I can get busy in the Peoples Republic of Zambowanga playing AK47.

Some of the modern U.S kit is good too, M-ATVs, Strykers all 11 of em  8) etc etc etc, a huge amount of Humvee's, buffalo Hemmt etc etc, and then the soviet stuff........ phew, cold shower!

there is so much scope for modern gaming, historical accuracy and so many what ifs
Title: Re: What about modern ?
Post by: Hertsblue on 17 October 2012, 10:03:54 AM
Let's not forget the real wars of the 20th Century - Six Day, Yom Kippur, Indo-Pakistani (x 2) etc. where there were some decent armour v. armour battles, not scruffy bandits driving around in converted pick-ups. Centurion and T55 are a good start. M47, M48 (no, they're not the same tank) M60 and various APCs and artillery - towed and SP - would be good. Let's do it properly.

I'd be up for Modern Infantry-(British/French/Chinese/Australian-These could be the same, as they all use a bullpup rifle, maybe just different webbing and helmets.
African Militias and African civillians (Sub Saharan).
More animals-Hippos, Giraffes, Lions etc.
Rondavels/African huts.
